resources and growth of the south. 1t is de

sources of the surrounding country, ami SAYS
that Admission has attracted the notice of the
country as in many respects the most remark
able center of the iron industry in the south
Admissions population increased from 1000
in December last to 1000 and the reason it

The attempt OF the republican man.
ayers to reach an agreement upon issues
for the campaign of 1888 only serves to
emphasize the radical differences in the
party. John Sherman, republican sem
ator from Ohio, bears witness to "the
honesty of purpose and the herosm with
which the coDfederates maintained their
cause" "'BilP Chandler, who aspires
to be republican senator from New
Hampshire. denounces this as "a mon
strous doctrine Oliver Ames, republi-
can governor of Massachusetts. outlines
a platform for the party. which concludes
thus: at proposes that education shall
be so extended, especially in the south,
that illiteracy shall cease to be a menace
to our institutions'--in other words, that
the national government shall contribute
millions to the support of schools in the
south, as proposed by the Blair bill But
Joseph R. HawleY. republican senator
from Connecticut. says of this project:
The tendency of the day is to go to the
national government for help in hundred
things. 1t is asked, for example, that it
shall take charge in very great measure
of education. shall dedicate millions of
dollars a year to the education of the
several states. necessarily following that,
in greater or less degree, the government
shall intermeddle with the whole bust
ness. 4 This tendency towards a
consolidation of the entire powers of gov
eminent is one of the strongest today,
and one of those most dangerous to the
republican experiment, as our fathers
understood it." 1t is certainly calculated
to puzzle the man who wants to be a
good republican when he finds one
leaders position as to the proper attitude
of the party toward the ex-confederates
pronounced "monstrous" by another
leader, and third leaders plank as to
relation of the general government to the
states characterized as most dangerous

ment to the License Act, which was passed
at the last session of the Legislature, and
approved February l, 1887:

from time to time deliver to the Sheriff as
many of such licenses as may be required,
and shall sign the same and charge them
to the Sheriff provided, that before sign
ing or delivering any license to a Sheriff,

full, stating therein to whom said license is
issued, the kind of business authorized to
be carried on under the license, the room,
building and placewhere the business is to be
carried on, the dates when said license be-
gins and expires, and the amount of money
